[quote=SK in CV][quote=Allan from Fallbrook]And, in other news, America arms al-Qaeda, uh, I mean “rebels”, in Syrian civil war.

This should work out really well…[/quote]

Yeah, I don’t know if it’s exactly the same. But certainly close enough for discomfort. Doing nothing would be preferable.[/quote]

SK: Yup, we need to stay as far from this shit as possible. The “win” in this situation is if Assad is unseated by the rebels (not all of whom, as you correctly stated, are affiliated with al-Qaeda, but plenty of them are.)

That would mean that al-Qaeda and/or other jihadis would have ready access to the Syrian Army’s stockpile of chem weapons, including Sarin.

Good times.

It should also disabuse anyone of the notion that this administration is any less in bed with the Saudis than previous administrations were.
